Annual family reunion
This was our second year staying at the property and the experience was just as great as the first time. The three grandchildren (ages 12, 6, 3) had plenty of running around room on the beautiful lawn as adults watched from the deck. On the occasional rainy day they were inside playing games or working on craft projects on the long dining table. I would highly recommend staying at this property - Thank you again Colin for a memorable time for our family!

Peaceful spot with beautiful ocean and lighthouse views!
We could not have had a more relaxed two weeks! Colin was a tremendously responsive host and we truly appreciated his hospitality. This property is beyond compare if you want privacy and ocean views, easy access to beaches and trail walks. The stone fireplace was a grand spot to sit around in the evenings and reflect on the day. Would absolutely rent this property again!

Family reunion
Our stay in Aquinnah was wonderful - in spite of the off and on again weather. The house was very comfortable and worked very well for our multi generational group: 4 adults, 1 five year old, 1 two year old, and 1 eleven year old. It actually exceeded our expectations - the pictures do not do justice to the property and the interior spaces. We enjoyed cooking and eating most meals at "home". Lobsterville beach - a five minute drive is terrific, kid friendly and lovely. I would highly recommend staying at this property - Thank you Colin for a memorable time for our family!

Quiet Aquinnah
My husband and I were looking for a comfortable and secluded location for a quiet, relaxing week and we found it in this property. Clean, well-equipped, great customer service from the owner and plenty of room in the house, on the decks and in the yard. This place can be enjoyed by a couple, a family and a group of friends.

Fall Getaway
The house was exactly what we needed for our trip. It was clean and cozy with beautiful views. After coffee on the deck we ventured out for various bike trails during the day and returned at night for fantastic sunsets and relaxing food and drink with friends. It delivered all that was promised and e-mail communication with the host was awesome with responses within hours. Would definitely stay again!!

Tremendous Experience
This home is beautiful and is located in a nice and quiet neighborhood away from the more "touristy" spots. It's a short drive to some nice shops in Aquinnah and great beaches. The view from the outside is outstanding, you can see beautiful sunsets over the Gay Head lighthouse from either porch each night and the roof top deck is a great place to take some exceptional pictures. The home was outfitted nicely and well thought out for my family of 5 during our stay, even including some toys for kids to play with. There was a large selection of dishes and cook-ware/dish-ware, even beach towels and coolers. Everything we could think of that we would need when we arrived ended up being there for us to use, for example we wanted to go out on the roof top deck for some photos at night but we didn't bring flashlights and we found that not only were there two flashlights but also two LED lanterns for us to use. There's a large yard surrounding the home that's perfect for kids to play outside and explore the nature surrounding it and being in a nice quiet neighborhood is definitely a big plus for that as well. The downside of being away from the more populated areas of the island is that you will have to do some traveling to get groceries and stuff like that but with the island being relatively small it's only about a half hour from everything. Colin was a fantastic host and always responded to our messages within minutes before and during our stay. If you're looking for something nice, quiet and unique on Marthas Vineyard this is it!

A beautiful property, inviting and restful
Seven of us stayed in this summer cottage and appreciated the well-outfitted kitchen and large, airy family/dining room. We enjoyed the two decks, eating at the big outdoor table with the blue umbrella, and the lovely sounds of birds and ocean surf. The house is a few minutes' drive from the Aquinnah Cliffs and Gay Head Light, a beautiful part of the island.

This is a great place to stay if you're interested in peace and quiet. That's what we wanted. We were happy that we stopped to buy groceries on way to the house. We ate most of our meals there. I loved the two decks. One was great for eating, the other for star gazing.

Gorgeous views
This house is very clean and charming. The views from both the decks are stunning and made us feel connected to the ocean even when we were not at the beach. Aquinnah is beautiful because it is a little away from the touristy parts of the island. We took gorgeous sunset photos every evening and had breakfast on the deck every morning. Colin was a wonderful host and very responsive. The kitchen has all the equipment you need. Bring your own pantry basics if arriving late or plan to shop at stores 20-30 mins away. Nights on the island can get chilly in May which was not an issue for us adults because of warm comforters available in the house, but it was a problem for our infant in the crib. Overall, our vacation experience was enhanced by staying at this property!

Great Aquinnah stay!
We had a wonderful time at this cottage house. The views from the main and roof deck are exceptional, and at certain times we could hear the surf on both southern and western shores. Exceptional. The house is comfortably equipped. The long porch is a great gathering space and dining room and the stone fireplace was well used for our October stay. So enjoyable, we would definitely recommend and stay here again. Thanks, Colin, for sharing your home.
